معرفی
Sam Aspinall is a Researcher at the University of Hertfordshire's School of Life and Medical Sciences, affiliated with the Centre for Research into Topical Drug Delivery and Toxicology. He holds a PhD in Pharmaceutics (University of Reading, 2022) and an MChem in Chemistry (University of Reading, 2016), focusing on nuclear waste remediation via ligand development.
His research interests center on mucoadhesive polymers, oral drug delivery systems, and material science applications in healthcare. Key projects include developing thermoresponsive polymers for healthcare materials (Animal Free Research UK-funded) and investigating mucoadhesion's role in toothpaste retention. His work spans biomaterials for geriatric medicine, dysphagia management through food texture modification, and encapsulation of biological cells using thermoreversible gels.
Aspinall has collaborated on projects across materials science, dental technology, and biomedical engineering, with notable contributions to silica particle modification and xanthan gum applications. His research emphasizes translational solutions for unmet clinical needs in drug delivery and patient care.
